Customer Reviews:

I love it and I give it as a gift.......2006-12-11

This is the first collection of choral music that I've purchased and I love it. I own copies of operas and requiems and masses, but if you attend choral concerts, as I have been recently, you learn there is a huge colletion of choral music appart from the forms I've been listening to. I appreciate the producers selecting "Song for Athene" by Tavener and "Celebration (Standing Stone)" by McCartney. They are new to me and I love them. Disk 1 ends with "Jerusalem" and Disk 2 ends with "Land of Hope and Glory." As an American I rarely hear these and I am so glad they were included. I believe this album was intended to help popularize choral music and I believe the selections do fine job towards that end.

I know snobs rage against popularizing classical music, but everyone deserves exposure to the beauty of song. I will also mention here "The East Village Opera Company" because they work to popularize opera by setting it to a rock beat. They do a fine job but also get criticized for attempting to popularize classical music.

"The Best Choral Album in the World...Ever" was so popular with my teen-age daughter that it was hard to get it back from her. I give the album as a gift to nephews and nieces.

MarMSED.......2005-08-27

The music selections are extraordinary. The only problem has to do with the balance of sound. There are some parts that are very loud, and some that are so very soft. You have to continually adjust the volume.

Diverse range but the songs are butchered..........2005-07-24

Well, this CD isn't horrible by any stretch, but it is irritating to someone who's more than a casual listener of choral music. I'm by no means as musically "literate" as many reviewers out there, but I have a collection of probably twenty-five or thirty choral CD's and this is one that will probably be gathering dust in the back of the CD book.

The peices are well-performed for the most part, but they are hopelessly edited. Beethoven's Ode to Joy is somewhere around twenty four minutes, but this CD only includes an arrangement of about five minutes. The beautiful Miserere is, uncut, almost eleven minutes but is cut down to five and a half minutes here.

Looking back, I should have realized the major editing that would be involved, just by the sheer number of peices on it. I'm familiar with a great many of them and I know they're too long to fit onto a seventy minute disc without some major cutting going on. I just didn't reason that out before I shelled out the money for it.

Bottom line. This CD has decent singing, but is nothing special. If you're a newcomer to this genre, you might get this as a quick overview of the different types of choral music out there, but if you're any kind of an avid listener, this CD will drive you insane with the severity of the cuts. Beginners, if you're looking for a great collection CD, you'd do better to look at "Choral Moods". It doesn't have the diversity in styles of this one, but it will introduce you to incredibly talented composers. To the old hats out there, steer clear of this one and look to CD's by your preferred individual composers themselves. It's more money, but much less frustration in the long run. The old sayings are sometimes the best: You get what you pay for.

Amazon.com essential recording

This collection presents all Webern's works with opus numbers in chronological order, allowing listeners to scrutinize the inner workings of this influential composer's intense, compressed style from the lush Passacaglia to the starkness of his late vocal works. A broadcast recording of Webern conducting a group of Schubert Dances makes a lively bonus. --Jed Distler

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Webern from the master Boulez and company........2006-09-12

Boulez has a DG recording, which I have several singles from that set. The DG is very good and recommended as a second set. This Sony recording is outstanding and the finest in my Webern collection. If you have this set , you still may want to look at the DG set. Why? Because this music is so wonderful, so that another experience is well worth the price of say $40. But if you have the DG set, you definetly want to keep that set and also get this Sony set.
Notice how few new Webern recordings are released. When conductors hear this set, I guess they feel its pointless to try to meet these standards. The artists here are all in excellent form and understanding of this extremely difficult but rewarding music.

Webern may grow on you and Boulez et al. are worth every penny........2005-09-18

If you are looking for an introduction to Webern, give this a try. It has the advatage of being comprehensive and well played. If you don't like all of Webern, so be it. If you buy this recording and give it a few listenings you will have heard enough to make an informed judgement.

I have found that Webern's music demands mutiple hearings before you can say you've really heard it. When you are in the mood for some 20th century pioneering work, turn to this recording and listen. Over time, you will be glad you did.

Interesting and Challenging.......2004-04-09

I don't know if I "like" Webern, but he is certainly interesting and challenging. The textures of his music are very fragile and transparent. The pieces are extraordinarily economical (the average Webern piece, I would guess, is about two minutes in duration, maybe less). The dissonances are extreme (strange to say, twelve-tone music can vary in how dissonant it sounds, as some twelve-tone composers (Berg, for example) use "easier" tone rows as the bases of their works). Webern was a musician of great integrity, and he pushed twelve-tone music to the radical extreme (as compared his more conservative teacher, Schoenberg, and fellow-pupil, Berg.) Again, I don't know if it works, and I don't know if I like it. I will definitely continue to listen to it. What I definitely like is this wonderful recording, with performances lovingly rendered. For this reason, I'm giving the recording five stars. However, if you want an "easier" introduction to twelve-tone and atonal music, get Berg's Violin Concerto, or even Schoenberg's piano concerto. With respect to the Schoenberg piano concerto, Mitsuko Uchida's disc is wonderful, and is highly recommended.

The original and still the best.......2003-11-25

Boulez's seminal original recordings of Webern are still important today. They capture the extraordinary distance this composer travelled from his tonal opus 1 passacaglia, though the atonal expressionism of the opus 5 and opus 6 pieces, the extreme compression of the opus 9 bagatelles, the contrapuntal abstraction of the mid-period songs to the serial masterpieces of his later years. These pieces still divide concert audiences today--I've been to Webern performances where half the audience was electrified and the other half clearly wanted to be elsewhere--but their historical significance cannot be denied. I believe their musical significance cannot either: close on a dozen of these works are amongst the finest pieces the 20th century has to offer. This set of performances, dating from the late 1960s and early 1970s and largely recorded under the direction by Pierre Boulez, has long since been regarded as being as close to definitive as one can get. I wouldn't go so far--there are occasional less impressive performances (such as the saxophone quartet) amongst the very fine ones. However, as complete sets go, I find the performances here largely superior to Boulez's more recent traversal on DG.

Technically, this set is not a Complete Works. It only includes those works that Webern published with an opus number, with the addition of the composer's wonderful orchestral transcription of the Ricercare a 6 from Bach's Musical Offering, and an old recording of Webern conducting his orchestrations of Schubert's German Dances. There are more works included on Boulez's rival set on DG--at twice the price--but most of what you gain are juvenilia.

And, for those who remain unconvinced that they'd like Webern, check out http://www.antonwebern.com -- a website that has free streaming mp3s of several of the recordings on this set. Listen to a few of them a few times (though skip the opus 16-18 songs, some of his driest works), and then decide.

Boulez's Webern -- brilliant modern miniatures.......2001-11-27

All 31 works that Webern gave official Opus numbers on 3 discs, conducted by Boulez (not Kolbe!), with the Juilliard Quartet and the London Symphony Orchestra, and a superb booklet with commentary and lyrics -- so why only 4 stars? My objection is the strictly chronological presentation, and the fact that I am not won over by Webern's vocal works -- I would vastly prefer grouping the music by form. Everything is brilliantly performed, and Charles Rosen, who accompanies sopranos on piano on several pieces, plays with sparkling luminosity. But the reason I sought out this collection is because I wanted to hear Boulez's versions of Webern's masterpieces, the "Symphony (Op. 21)" and "Variations for Orchestra (Op. 30)," as well as the string trios and quartets. Here these instrumental works are mixed among the lieders, Webern's many vocal works, and I find this frustrating. I prefer hearing the instrumental pieces grouped together, as on the Dohnanyi or Sinopoli discs of orchestral works (see my reviews of both), or the Schoenberg or Emerson Quartet's discs of the string trios and quartets (see my reviews of both). Unfortunately there is not a Boulez disc comparable to the Dohnanyi (on London) or Sinopoli (on Teldec). So it's either this Sony box or the several more recently recorded discs on DG, unless of course you are a total Webern fanatic and want the Ultra-Complete box with all the numbered AND un-numbered pieces...

It's really hard to fault this excellent Webern collection. Obviously if you have a more catholic appreciation of Webern's music than I (including the vocal works), my criticism is irrelevant. If you are a completist on a budget, this is a clear choice over the more expensive box. But if you are looking for an introduction to Webern's music, the best of which is some of the best of the 20th century in my opinion, I suggest that you begin with 1) Dohnanyi and the Cleveland Orchestra, and 2) the Schoenberg Quartet.

[There is a mistake on the site. Pierre Boulez is the conductor, not Helmuth Kolbe. Careful inspection of the box reveals that Kolbe was the engineer...]

Excellent performance of Waltzes.......2000-12-23

In this CD performed by André Rieu, waltz music takes a very different path in sound and style. It is not as all the other walzes by Strauss that we have listened before, since it has the very special Rieu's magical touch. Even when the titles of the songs are in spanish, anyone can identify the waltzes with just the listening of the first bars. It is all wonderful. In these performances of Strauss Waltzes, the piano is arrenged, included and heard in those waltzes where it was usually absent. In the song "Strauss y Compañia", the music of Strauss is very well mixed with that of other composers; it is like a popurri of Strauss Waltzes very well mixed and played. Also, "Golondrinas de Austria", is an excellent example of the beautiful melody of the Strauss, not written by Johann but written by his brother Joseph, it is not less than any of Johann's music. All in all, this CD contains some of the best waltz music that one can listen to with the different and fabulous sound that André Rieu has to offer us.

Singers of Great Renown.......2001-12-15

As the years go by, recordings of singers of the past become cheaper, less bulky to store, and reproduce in better sound. Nimbus Records have developed a method of reproducing recordings from the years before the introduction of electrical recording in 1925. The results are especially kind to singers who recorded in the early decades of the C20th.

This double CD presents recordings from the decade 1910 to 1920. The oldest singer represented is the great Australian diva Melba, heard in one of her loveliest recordings - an excerpt from "Louise" by Charpentier. Amongst the youngest is Tito Schipa, aged 24, in an aria from "Lucia di Lammermoor", and Rosa Ponselle as Tosca at the age of 21. Listening to these ancient recordings is a relatively comfortable experience here, but I would caution against devoting a full two and a half hours to listening to all of them in one sitting.

J B Steane, the eminent authority on singers of the past on record, provides a superb essay. Full details of the recordings are provided, together with a synopsis of each item. Having provided so much to collectors of historic singers, Nimbus Records is now to close its operations. Collectors should therefore be aware that CDs like this and its companion volumes will soon be unprocurable.

Disappointing.........2006-06-29

Not worth the money or time and trouble ordering this product. I just did not like it!!!!

Yes, Jazz but no much.......2006-02-24

This CD is very smooth to ear. The player trio is fine. The flute (Elena Duran) is more present on Beatles music, Grapelli (violin) presents a splendid violin solo on Bach music (his Air On A G String violin solo is unforgettable). The jazzistic components are presented by bass, drums and piano, but they're not enough to give a genuine jazz touch to this disc, I think so. If you want mor jazzistic features for Bach and Beatles music, you must ear Swingle Singers and Jacques Loussier.

More jazz than Bach.......2004-05-20

Given the title of this album, I was expecting arrangements of a baroque nature; that's not what they've done, however. There are renditions of 19 Beatles tunes done in a style that is largely of the light, sprightly jazz variety, and a similar treatment of a theme from Bach's Brandenburg No. 2. If you like this kind of thing, the recording quality is excellent and the players are good at what they do; the performance is very fluid (to my ear) and the sound is crisp. It is not, however, a baroque adaptation of modern material; the style of performance is merely shifted from rock to acoustical jazz ensemble with embellishments to match. Unfortunately, the moods of the original pieces do not always match the moods of the versions here, and some of the arrangements venture off into other styles in places as well. If I hadn't been expecting something else, I'd probably have liked this CD more.

Papa Bach boogies! Oh, yeah!.......2004-04-06

You are welcome to the Beatles cuts on this CD. The Bach tracks are what make it worth the price.

Don't get me wrong. I love the Beatles, but honestly, the works of Lennon and McCartney do not easily adapt to the jazz trio style. It's more like being pummeled into submission. What's left is better heard in a vertically moving metal booth with a panel of numbered buttons next to its automatic sliding doors (OK, OK, I'll say it! It's ELEVATOR MUSIC!). ::whew::

The Bach selections, quite the opposite, are as at home with a cup of strong black coffee at a bistro table for two as they are on a picnic with an 8-piece spicy chicken dinner from Popeye's (red beans and rice, please). It's only right. Bach was, after all, such an improviser that some of his compositions consist of 2 or 3 chords. It was up to the performer to put SOMETHING between those chords.

When these recordings were originally released on the Angel Records digital LP "Brandenburg Boogie," the titular track was the opening salvo. Here, it's saved for last and very well indeed it serves as a finale to the works that precede it.

"Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" sways in a hammock nudged by the breezes of Stephane Grappelli's violin and Elena Duran's flute while Laurie Holloway's piano work sparkles like sunlight filtering through the leaves.

"Groovy Gavotte," based on the Gavotte from French Suite for keyboard No. 5 in G major struts along like an iron-pumping peacock with attitude. Grappelli sits this one out while Duran plays straight lady to Holloway's key-pounding improvisation evocative of that peacock whomping the snot out of a hawk that tried to have him for lunch.

Everyone who records Bach records "Air on the G String." Maybe it's some kind of RIAA reguirement but here, the most mellow cut on the whole disc, is where the whole trio seems to be at their most adventurous. Even Duran nudges her flute outside the dots and lines more than on any other cut.

The Minuet from the Little Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach returns to the norm with Duran once again playing the melody as straight as an arrow while Holloway comes back with the kinds of electric piano riffs you only hear in those previously smoke-filled jazz clubs.

The aria from Cantata No. 30 starts off like a ride in a swing at the park but soon soars over town like a hot-air balloon. Duran's octave leap on the closing bars is a true high point of the disc.

What do you do when you have only one violin but you're playing a movement from the "Double" Violin Concerto? You have Elena play one violin part on her flute while Stephane rocks on his violin and Laurie rolls on his keyboards. Yes, it's been done on classical recordings before but never like this.

The Gigue in B flat major gives the listener and the performers a chance to cool down with a stretch. Once more, one notes Duran's careful note-for-note playing contrasted by Grappelli's sonic leaps and bounds.

The other must-record piece is "Wauchet Auf". Grappelli's improvisation dances around Duran's presentation of the melody. Then, Stephane takes center stage and challenges Laurie to a violin versus electric piano showdown at twenty paces. Who wins? Does it matter?

The Sicilienne from the Sonata for harpsichord and flute exudes an air of mystery and lulls the listener into a sort of calm before a musical storm of Bayou hurricane proportions.

That storm arrives when the trio gets down on "Brandenburg Boogie", modeled after the first movement of the second Brandenburg Concerto. In its original form, the piece was once described as "Dixieland Baroque," all the more fitting for this performance. Grappelli and Holloway provide the most raucous moments while Duran's flute keeps order. Everything culminates in a sort of musical "Oh, yeah!" that leaves the listener both invigorated and out of breath.

interesting.......2002-06-20

This mix of baroque touch and beatle melody results in true pleasure for the ear.

Fabulous!.......2001-03-11

This is an amazing collection of arias from the early 1900s through the 1930s (there is one 1942 cut). The sound transfers, made from pristine 78 records, are excellent, especially considering the age of the recordings. This CD is a splendid overview of the outstanding artists of their day, and while many of them are no longer (opera) household names, their singing is first rate. Not only would this be a great CD for an opera history buff, it is also excellent for someone just learning about opera and wanting to hear opera legends. The price for 5 CDs, each over an hour's worth of listening, is a steal.
